Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The two cars are chasing through a run down light industrial area. There is a large pile of empty cardboard boxes, usually at a corner. Either the first car misses them and the second careens into them, scattering the boxes over the set, or the first strikes a glancing blow, sufficient to scatter the boxes into the path of the second car. In a foot chase, a variation of the latter case happens often; the one in front will deliberately knock down such a pile as he passes, in order to delay his pursuers. Sometimes, the boxes are strictly for show; the first car will send half of them tumbling every which way, and the second car will take care of the rest. In rare cases, can be used to hide from pursuers. Unrelated to Kids Prefer Boxes or Cardboard Box Home. See also Sheet of Glass and Fruit Cart. Judging by the ratio of parodies to straight examples on this page, this appears to be a Dead Unicorn Trope. See Trash Landing for when cardboard boxes are used to soften the fall of characters.

Deconstructively parodied in an issue of Spawn, in which a cop car blasts through a pile of boxes...which had a homeless man sleeping under them. | |

Lolita (1997). When Humbert finds that Dolores has left the hospital with her 'Uncle Gustav', he drives wildly to the hospital, smashing into dustbins as his car weaves down a narrow street. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000 subject Future War is infamous for its fight scenes with huge stacks of boxes as far as the eye can see, which are all clearly empty. | |

An advert by Nissan UK for the Almera GTi took the form of a spoof of The Professionals. At one point Bodie tells Doyle to drive down a narrow lane full of rubbish. | |
